Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 946 267: Kael's Teasing, the Headmaster's Invitation, and the Springtime of War Mages (10K)_3

"If you need it."

...

As the individual sessions of the Mage Festival concluded, next, everyone moved to the reception hall, where they discussed the recent relevant theoretical research results in between eating and drinking.

In the past, this part of the event was when most mages would exchange their magic research findings.

However, this time, not many were willing to mention their recent research results. On one hand, because they were too shocked by the previous theoretical research, too many people were discussing topics related to war mages.

On the other hand, so many people were discussing topics related to war mages that when someone tried to bring up their work, they would involuntarily be steered towards discussions on war mages.

Initially, some mages were a bit displeased.

I came to the Mage Festival this time to showcase the outstanding spell research results I achieved last year to my peers. If research isn't for flaunting in front of peers, then half the meaning of the research is lost.

For the old mages, the desire to gain recognition from peers through their research is tantamount to realizing self-worth. There's nothing more exhilarating than this.

But today, many of them clearly couldn't experience that exhilaration.

However, someone quickly caught on.

What benefits do discussions of their own theories bring to them?

The war mage industry is truly a new arena!

If they could integrate the war mage profession into their own systems for mutual validation, whether in terms of strength or theoretical enhancement, there would be further possibilities for advancement.

This is what's really worth discussing!

Just like every breakthrough in materials science propels vast industries towards more advanced directions.

The war mage profession undoubtedly elevates the baseline for mages.

Thus, when Kael and a group of magic monarchs moved to the venue, he intended to have a good talk with Senior Sister Lily about a certain plan, but was directly swept up by the crowd, only able to exchange a glance with Lily before being overwhelmed again.

Fortunately for mages, there's still something as practical as telepathy, so after much back and forth, he finally managed to arrange a meeting time with Lily, before being helplessly swept away by the influx of people again.

Yet, things were more troublesome than he had imagined.

After leaving the inner area and allowing people to move freely, media personnel eager to get first-hand information from Kael rushed over with recording crystals.

Reporter: "Helois Monarch, regarding the theories of war mages, what impact do you think they might have on the future training systems for mages?"

Kael smiled and said, "I can't guarantee that; I won't personally intervene in the existing mage training systems. I'm merely a transporter for the war mage profession, sketching a potentially existing future for the mages."

Reporter: "Regarding the recent notice posted by the Holy Brinia, which baselessly slanders your bloodline, what is your attitude?"

Kael shook his head and said, "When one is set to be punished, excuses are never lacking. Instead of saying I'm the fuse of this conflict, it would be more accurate to say I am merely a pretext for the Holy Brinia's attempt to further expand its influence and interfere with other countries."

Reporter: "Is that really what you think? You should know that the power flowing through your ancestors once ignited every inch of the Holy Mountain and severely wounded the Holy Brinia of that time.

In your view, shouldn't you atone for and bear the sins your ancestors committed?"

Kael looked somewhat surprised at the "reporter," who appeared tense and uncertain, slightly taken aback that someone would directly dare ask him this question on the spot.

Moreover, the question had obvious bias and seemed accusatory. While Kael found it shocking, he was also amazed that "reporters" nowadays would truly go mad for a story.

Of course, although called "reporters," none of the journalists at the Mage Festival belonged to any dubious [public platforms] capable of arbitrarily fabricating claims.

They were mostly well-known major companies or special media personnel with ties to the relevant Yibel Federation background.

However, because of this, he was surprised by the "reporter's" audacity to challenge his culture openly.

This was clearly a pawn deliberately pushed to stir up a topic.

Whether through simple monetary bribery or as a planted pawn by certain people from the start, it didn't matter.

However, since these people were willing to step forward, heh...

He decided to give them a straightforward answer!

Kael spread his hands and said, "As long as you're human, you'll have problems. Even if there are no issues worth fabricating, if someone wishes to interpret things out of context and ride the waves of public opinion, issues will arise.

If you have problems, there will be malintentioned people trying to solve them.
